Enter Death, Stage Right

My Soul to Take Book Two

By William A. Veselik

Prof. Alfred Rhys Smythe returns home to Victorian London after years abroad only to discover that a blood-thirsty cult of vampires is stalking the city's theatre district. Having sought the aid of sympathetic Scotland Yard Inspector, Arthur Jenkins, the two men move closer to solving the mystery of the illusive vampire lord's identity.

Smythe fears that his own mother, believed long dead by his family, may now actually be a vampire under the control the vampire lord, so he and Jenkins go on the offensive, tracking down the vampire horde to their lair beneath an old theatre. But the mysterious vampire lord plays his trump card when he takes his own vengeance against Smythe's older brother, Ian, a less-than-successful stage actor.

In My Soul to Take, Part II: Enter Death, Stage Right, author William A. Veselik weaves a tale of mystery and edge-of-your-seat terror inspired by the eerie atmosphere and vivid action of the classic Hammer Horror films starring Peter Cushing and Christopher Lee. The trilogy comes to its exciting conclusion in Part III, The Vampire Lord Unmasked.

Veselik is the public relations coordinator for a Virginia community college.
